Lack of internet service kept us from posting pictures the past few days but we have continued to see more and more of our beautiful USA!! I told someone, Alan and I feel like it is like Christmas morning everyday; we wake-up very excited to see what "gifts" our country has in store for us!

| First thing we see are deer playing! |
 |
| Good Bye, beautiful Grand Canyon! |
 |
| After leaving the Grand Canyon we are now driving to Bluff, UT for a over night stop. The next pictures were taken as we passed through Cameron, and Tuba City via US 89 and US 160. |
 |
| Now on US 163 driving through Monument Valley and the Valley of the Gods. |
 |
| Now we are in Utah. |
 |
| Still driving through Monument Valley and the Valley of the Gods. |
 |
| Went through a town called Mexican Hat! |
 |
| Mexican Hat is named for a 2,500-ton boulder that resembles a sombrero! |
 |
| This is the Sombrero! |
 |
| Almost to Bluff, UT |
 |
| Twin Rocks, in Bluff, with the Twin Rocks Diner below! |
 |
| Lucky for us the owner of the restaurant where we had dinner in Bluff told us about the next two stops! |
 |
| Back on US 163 called the Trail of the Ancients, going to Goosenecks State Park. |
 |
| This was a beautiful hidden gem! |
 |
| Lots of open ranges in this area. Cows are free to roam anywhere. This Mama and her babies did not appreciate us running them off the road. |
 |
| What a look they gave us! |
 |
| Didn't know the back road from Goosenecks would bring us this fun- but boy did we love it! This is called the Moki Dugway, because it was a road from an old mining company. No guardrails and part of it was a gravel road. |
 |
| Arriving Natural Bridges National Park. |
 |
| This last bridge had a great hike down to the bridge and the San Juan River! |
 |
| Picture before the hike. |
 |
| Playing with the camera timer after the hike. School bus full of kids at the river edge having a picnic. So we did not go all the way down to the water. |
 |
| This slide area was across from the park entrance. Adults and children were rolling down this dirt hill right to the highway's edge. Yuck!!!! |
 |
| This one was called Park Avenue! :) What skyscrapers huh! |
 |
| This is called The Gossips! |
 |
| Balancing Rock |
 |
| One of the Arches. |
 |
| Our stop for the night! |
Teri and Alan, we didn't get to see Goosenecks State Park, Wow! And I can see you loved Arches! Hope you didn't stay at the B&B (double-widetrailer) we stayed in Escalante. Just found our photo book and will share with you over a glass of wine soon. Alice
